the atmosphere, at this season of
the year, that increases the pro-
pensity OF mankind to be thought
4 ful or frisky to al extraordinary
degree.
The whole town started out some
nights since, and the boys "made
Rome howl" tie a certainty. An
dy Robertson was on his dignity,
with eight dollars worth Of pa
tience and thumb like nubbin,
and tried to calm the stormy ele-
ments, but he was down to four bit
patience when daylight came in
next morning.
George Curry was sort of chief
pirate for while, but after he had
stabbed a customers horse in Wha-
lens store room, put the saddle
blankets in the safe and tied a knot
in the cinch to keep the saddle
from straying off in the night, he
went to bed. George Jones, with
a face as straight as a spirit level
tried to get up bet with Charley
Bell, that he couldn't put on his
socks in the dark with one hand
and managed to work about seven
ancient eggs into Charley's pocket.
Ben Ellis tripped over a straw,
ran against Charley and broke all
the eggs in his pocket. Charley,
to get even, found Doc Tomlinson
in a high fever on a couch, and by
gently smoothing his manly brow,
managed to work several eggs in
to Docs hair, winding up by plant
ing complete egg on his fore
mead. Doc. began to look for a
gun, and the constable went down
the river to arrest a friend of his.
Shorty Bailey was trying to con-
vince Lengthy Turner that it was
possible to bore a hole in the air
and plug it up tore the wind got
back, and John Whalan was pom
dering on the moral possibility OF
a man scratching himself between
the shoulder-blades with his left
thumb and whlstIing hymn at
the same time.
Ed. Besselien made a speech
and, during his remarks, he de
clared it was not possible for a
man to smile while drinking out
of a Jug.
Then they began telling lies and
Sylvester Woodland started his
reel with one about o man up Dry
Gulch who pulls his suspenders
up so tight behind that he tips up.
"Jim" was shut up by kid who
wanted to know if anybody up
Dry Gulch had more than one sus-
pender, and lowed "Jim's" man
would have to tip slantin'.
Then they got to asking each
other hard questions, but Mickey
Cronin shut 'em all up by asking,

Jack Thornton and Will Ellis
were discussing the probability of
another war between France and
Germany, and Jones Taliaferro
wanted to know if the Bavarian
King had filed his bond.

sleepy and didn't say a word ex

I lnlS subject without adding that
there is too much sycophantic fawn-
ing at the feet of laboring men.
too much mawkish, sickly senti-
mentahsm on the subject of poor
men, too much preaching of the
gospel of discomfort into the ears
and senses of those who seem to
have inherited poverty. The poor
man is entitled to no special mark
of respect because he is poor, than
than is the rich man because he is
rich. There is a dignity connect
cd with honest labor which should
resent this oAicious, supercihous
pcating of the down trodden poor
winch should rise up and rebuke
the irtermcddlers. We yield sec
ond place to none in our sympathy
with the oppressed poor -
We are olrselt poor. But 1t may
be our own fault-lt certainly is
not to our credit, and certain it is,
we are not proud Of it. But we
want no one to waste time in sym
pathising with us. The void is
rs wide for MS as for the balance of
Gods creatures.
The man who occupies time in
speaking or writing about the poor
man, and making the subject his
hobby, is usually fishing for votes
or faN or Of some kind, and would
steal as readily from poor as a
rich man did opportunity offer.
This the intelligent workman well
knows, and he should inform such
as volunteer advice before drafts
are made upon him, that such ac-
ton upon their part, is not only
uncalIed Tor, but is insulting.
MM
1t was not designed by the Crea-
tor, that all men should be rich,
nor all poor. From the toundn-
ton OF the world there were rich
and poor. Solomon in his day,
represented the wealthy. He put.
on more airs than does Jay Gould.
Around and about him were poor
and needy, but Solomon, "in all
his glory" did not "divi1e." Com
ing down to the Christian era,
Christ and all his Apostles were
poor, but it never occurred to
them, wise as they were, to torn
an alliance, run a laboring mans
ticket, or assume importance e.
nough as political factors, to hold
themselves as a "balance of pow
er."
However much hardship may be
associated with poverty, there is
no disgrace attaching, and after
- lite's titiul fever Is over" the
poor viii sleep as tranquil as the
rich, and it is more than possible
that the death bed of the former,
if not SO soft, may be easier than
that OF the latter. Worms will
make quick work OF both, but "the
worm that never dieth, and the
fire that is never quenched," viii
have less terror for the soul of the
honest poor than the selfish rich.

CHAPTER VIII.

Kate was stirring early, hut not rs early
as her sister, who met her on the threshold
of her room. Her face was quite pale, and
she held a letter in her hand. "What
does this mean Kate?"
What is, the matter? asked Kate, her
own color fading from her check.
They are gone-with their horse.
Left before day, and left this"
She handed Kate an open letter. The
girl took il hurriedly, and read:
when you get this we shah be no more;
perhaps not even as much. Ned found the
trail Yesterday, and we are taking the first
advantage Of il before day. We dared not
trust ourselves 10 say Goodbye last even
lag: we were too cowardly to face you this
morning; We must 90 Is we came, without
warning, but not without regret. We
leave n package and a letter for your hus-
hand. 1t is not only our pOOc return for
your gentleness and hospitality, but since
it was accidentally the means of giving us
the pleasure of your society, We beg you to
keep il in safety until his return. We kiss
your mothers hands. Ned wants to say
something more, but time passes, and /
only allow him to send his love to Minnie,
and to tell her that he is trying to find the
red snow. GEORGE LEE"

Hale. "And trail-it may not be pass

day" said Kate drearly, ''for | discovered

CONCLUSION.
IHAPTER VII.

A week had passed ut Eagles Courts
week of mingled clouds and sunshine by
day, of rain over the green plateau and
snow on the mountains by night Each
morning had brought its fresh greenness
to the winter grit domain and q fresh coat
of dazzling white to the barrier that sePar-
ated its jewellers from the world beyond.
There was little change in the encompass
sing walls of their prison; if anything, the
snowy circle round them seemed to have
drawn its lines nearer day by day The
immediate resultOr this restricted limit had
been TO coniine the range of cattle to the
meadows nearer the house, and ut a safe
distance from the fringe of wilderness now
invaded by the providing tread OF preda-
tory animals
Neverthi -, the two figures lounglng
on the slope at sunset gave very little IN
dicatiOn of any serions quality in the stu
alton. Indeed, 50 far n appearances were
concerned, Kate, who was returning from
an afternoon stroll with Falkner, exhibit
ell, with feminine Inconsistency, a decided
return to the world of fashion and conyen-
TALLY just rs she was eflectually excluded
from it. She had not only discarded her
white dress rs q concession TO the practl-
cal evidence OF the surrounding winter, bu
she had also brought out \ feather hat
and sable muff which had nee graeed a
fashionable suburb of Boston. Even Falk-
ner had exchanged his SLOUGH hat and pic
tureSque Serape for q beaver OvercOat and
fur cap of Hale's which had been pressed
upon him by Kate, under the excuse OF
the season. Within n stones throw Of the
thicket, turbulent with the savage forces
OF nature, they walked with the abstrac'
ton of people hearing only their OWL
voices; in the face OF the solemn peak
clothed with white austerity they talked
grayely of dress.

Here is an item we came very near
getting scooped on. A four-year-old son
Of Mr.. Buchanan, janitor Of the Normal
school building, had slight fall several
days ago, and broke nearly every bone
in his body. One arm was fractured in
several places. The lad has, what the
doctors call, chalky bones, and they
break when ever he looks cross-eyed,
almost. Yesterday he was goingaround
tied up in bandages and splints, as COM
Portable as the nature of his case would
allow. when he happened to think of
something he had forgotten and the
shock broke his right leg in four
places. The fracture is compound
between the thigh and the knee and
increases the number of breaks, now
made by the little sufferer. to ten. He
is doing well and will soon be about and
ready. to crack all to pieces again as soon
as the wind chanees.-St. Cloud Times.

According to August Lindbergh of
Melrose, who is in Little Falls, this
week, and who has given the water
power Improvements careful examina-
ton, the statements in the newspapers
have been under, rather than over, the
factsin relation to the character of the i'm
provements at the river, and the effect
the work will have on Little Falls future.
BY his expeaicnce at other places he
expected that the matter was being ex-
aggerated in "boom" style, b ut he finds
that such is not the case. The improve
ments he says are being made in n
most substantial manner and when COM
pleted will offer inducements to mill
